Hi. I have a Master of Accounting (MAC) degree - 1 year program from UNC. 95% of my graduating class had jobs by November prior to graduation, with start dates the following September. I never had trouble finding a job, but it isn’t just the degree. I also have 3 years of Big Four public accounting experience and my CPA. You need all 3 of those things to be marketable. I do not make as much as those with their MBA. Having a degree in Bio will not hurt him/her at all in a MAC program. We had people with all types of degrees coming in, including a French major. I am not familiar with the Master of Finance degree, so I cannot comment on that. Good luck to your friend.
